SELENA'S POVTyler entered wearing a very long face. He is not meant to be happy, so I was never bothered about his happiness or bothered to ask him what happened. His wickedness and heartlessness are haunting him.He sat down. He looked tired and frustrated. "Hope he had something to eat. " I asked in my mind. Immediately, I realized myself and pinched my hand."Where is your dog?" Tyler rudely asked, and I kept quiet because I didn't know who he was talking about or even who the question was for because it was clear that no one had a dog.I stood up to leave the sitting room, and he called me back with a very romantic tone, "Selena." I looked at him; he appeared more messed up than he looked when he entered. I began to wonder what might have happened to him—was he under pressure?"Where is your dog?" He rudely asked again. I knew his arrogance wouldn't allow him to get what he wanted, so I dashed to the room to pick up my things for the journey.As I entered, Pete stood beside the b
PETE'S POVI tried to control my anger, but I couldn't. I know what is going on in my head, all in the name of trying to protect my mate and rescue her children, which the father won't even appreciate.I knew she might be seeing it as jealousy, but I knew what was happening. the threat, warning, and even death threat, but I never gave up on her. Why would she have no respect for me, choosing that proud animal over me?My phone beeped, and I gradually brought it out of my pocket. I already guessed who it would be, and it was her. "You have refused to take my calls." I read Georgia's message in my mind. Another message was entered from here with photos and videos of my sister and grandmother. "You have to choose between taking my call or going after them now.I became restless. "What do I do?" I opened my phone and called her, but she hesitated before picking up the call."Hey, hey, hey! Don't do anything stupid; don't please." I pleaded with her. As I heard Selena's footsteps, I ran ou
SELENA'S POVThe moment became unpredictable because things that never happened before started happening. I wondered if the dream I had was becoming a reality.It has never occurred to me that Tyler fell sick; talk more about having high blood pressure. What could he be thinking about? I wondered if there was something no one knew. He was already awake and strong, but he refused to see Luna. The reason is best known to him."Hey, Selena." I heard Tyler's voice, and I raised my head. He stood beside the couch, and I waited for what he wanted to say."Thank you! Thank you for standing up for me when I needed it." Tyler appreciated it and turned to leave. I called him back."Tyler!" He turned, and our eyes met. "You are welcome! You deserve to be alive." I encouraged him, and he smiled and went inside the room. That was like a dream because Tyler never smiled at me for a very long time. Even though I didn't know his reason for smiling, it was awesome. It gladdens my heart.The door opene
TYLER'S POV"Damn!!" Pete exclaimed and rushed to see what happened to him, even though his strange attitude was irritating and unfair.I tried to remove his leg from where it was stuck. "Hey! Don't touch me." Pete resisted, and I stepped back, but I couldn't leave him there. He might be stubborn, but Selena told me a lot about him. It was my time to pay him back abundantly.Pete finally managed to remove his leg from the hole. He started bleeding profusely. I watched him struggle, but I didn't go close to him again. It was already getting dark; Selena was nowhere to be found. I was deeply worried about her; her presence was my strength, and her smile was my laughter. I missed her. "Hey!" Pete called, but I didn't respond to him because he didn't mention my name. My anger raged. The fact that it helped me shouldn't give him the right to insult me. I was never in his class and would never be.He waited for a moment and called me again. "Tyler!" I turned back, and our eyes met. I wait
PETE'S POVThe sun penetrated through the small hole in the prison gate and shone inside the prison. I was feeling pain inside and out because the beating we received was too much. I looked at Tyler on the other side; he was seriously injured and had bruises all over.We were attacked very early in the morning by the owners of the small house, or, better to say, by our enemies. I watched Tyler fight fearlessly, but they overpowered him when they signalled to others that there was danger when they came out in groups. I couldn't stand up; my leg had managed to heal a little, but I couldn't stand it.Things were getting worse than I expected, which made me start giving up on finding the children. I wished to find Selena, but that would only be if we survived the prison and if they didn't kill us. It seemed to be a very powerful pack that I knew nothing about."I…ne…ed water." Tyler struggled to speak. I felt so bad for him—how humble he became after the beating. I managed to move closer
TYLER'S POVI chose to ignore Pete in that intense moment because he knew nothing about what I was going through mentally. A ruling Alpha getting married to an unknown princess? I don't even know if it's a curse on my pack or not. No approval from the moon goddess or anything; just accepting her because I want to be saved."Send for her to come so that we can get out of here now." Pete persisted; I ignored him. Lost in my thoughts of "what am I going to do?""This sounds so easy to you because you are not the one getting married to a total stranger. I don't have to say much about this; you definitely know nothing about royalty." I replied to him in a very harsh tone so that he could understand how heavy what he wanted me to do was."This is very simple logic, which I never expected you to refuse or argue about." Pete said, moved away from where he was standing, and went to the next edge. "What do you want me to do? That's what made us a team." I asked Pete, but I wasn't expecting more
TYLER'S POVIn that intense moment, I just had to accept my fate. "I will get married to you." I boldly said this before the door was opened. She paused, and the door closed again. I was shocked because there was no one holding the door, or maybe one of the guards was behind it.She turned, brought out something from her long garment, and handed it over to me. "My name is Zina. From this minute on, I shall be your wife till eternity." She said that and signaled for me to cut my hand for the oath. I did it without looking at her face, and she gave me her hand as I cut her soft flesh, and we tasted each other's blood."What would be the punishment for anyone who goes against this oath?" I questioned, and in that way, I would know where to start."Go against the oath? No, my dear. You can't go against it. Even if you should do so, then one of us must die, and it's in my hands to choose." She said, and that sounded like a gibberish story."What do you mean by that? What nonsense?" I was s
SELENA'S POVMy eyes were dripping in tears; my eyes had started closing because of the bad headache; and Pete was on the floor bleeding. I did so many things to stop the bleeding that it would stop and start again. "How do we move out of here?" I asked, even though I wasn't expecting Pete to answer me.Pete raised his hand and placed it on my lap. "Selena, you can go. I don't want them to catch you here because of me. Moreover, I might not survive this. Please go, Selena." Pete said, but that was impossible because there was no way I could leave him there."I know the pain is great, but nothing is going to happen to you. Stop putting pressure on yourself; we will get over all this." I encouraged him."I am already tired. I want to survive for you, but I think the ball is no longer in my court. There is something I want to tell you. Pete started coughing and finally stopped. "That witch with Tyler is deadly; you must learn to stay away from her. She likes nobody, only after her selfis
